He walks tbe loUmv with tbe name of Democracy. COLUMBUS: TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 28. Freedom or Slavery Which! The Democratic prty at tbe North once professed to be the friend, yea, tbe champion of Universal Freedom ; It was their mission to up bold the Rights of Man, and put dowo all Aristocracy. They passed resolutions looking forward to the time when Freedom should trl uraph over aud eradicate the evils of Slavery ; but sioce the reign of Franklin Pierce, lbs pas SHgnof the Nebraska bill, and the Dred Scott decision, they deny tbe old principles to which they professed allegiance, aud repudiate without scruple the prinolples of Democracy as taught by Jell'ertnu. These modern apologists tor Slavery are admirably hit off by the Provi dence Journal, which says : "We have yet to see tbe first Northern Democratic paper which cordially supports the emancipation movement In St. Louis. These papeis do oot confess that they are in favor of Bluvery In tbe abstraot. Tbey even Indulge in some vague generalities about freedom and tbe millenium, and the lion aud the lamb lying down together. Some thing of this kind has been predioted, but to attempt to hasleo any such state ot things, however desirable It may teem to our abort sighted visiou, would be aa Impious interfer ence with tbe plaus of Diviue Providence. Be sides, tbey never like the exaot way to which it Is proposed to accomplish tbe result, li any thing is said In tavor of It In tbe North, (t Is ao iuiperliuent Interference; if It Is tiled In tbe South, It may be well enough intended, but In some way or other, It Is oot la the right direc tion or onder the right Influences. It never comes exactly at tbe proper time, nor Is It ever In tbe haods of exactly tbe proper people. Tbe Democratic papers, too, are always afraid of a reaction, always apprehending that the feeling of the extreme South, of the men who hold that "free society la a lailure," will be wounded ; for these people are moat delicately sensitive, and start at the first whisper ol the word "free," to whatever It may be prefixed. "All tbe movements toward tbe amelioration of the colored race come, in the eyes of tbe Democrats, under two clwses, the philanthropic and the scltlsb. If tbey are undertaken by anybody but the slaveholders, If they are even directed towards preventing the extension of slavery, and witb uo relereuce to Its perpetuation where it exists, the men eog-iged in it are "mock philanthropists," "Digger worshippers," Ac , and all of them as clearly shown in the reoeut case of a Doatoo Blaok Kapa oilcan minister, go about the couutry with uncertain women, stopplug at doubttul taverns aud calling tor strong wbiBky toddy. If such movements are undertaken by the people of the slavehold-iug States, by Urn slaveholders themselves under aconvlctioo that, upon tbe whole, free labor Is the beet for them, then it becomes, In tbe opto Ion of these same critics, ao act ot outrageous ael-fiabuesa: they are actuated by the narrow view ol improving tbe general condition of tbe people by the selfish consideration of the public good, aud would sacrifice the lostllutlou of slavery, divine iu its origin and beneficent In lis operation, for the sake ot building up cities, briuglog lands into cultivation, aud iucreaslng tbe products and tbe Influence of the arts. At the same time, It ia not to be uuderatood that these men are In favor ol slavery. We know that tbey are not, because tbey say they are oot; and whenever tbey vote or act la euy way for slavery, they always, in the handsomest maa ner, balance It by the most beautiful sentiments in favor of freedom. Id fact, wo do uot know tbitt we have ever beard fiuer disquisitions up on freedom In the abstract than have fallen from i be peus wbicb are constautly employed In furthering the party of slavery," A Frki Soil Papkk in Tuia-Tbt Galves ton AYioi is very savsre In Its denunciations of the Quitman Free Prrm, a newspaper published la Wood county, fur Its "open and bitter hostility to Southern IiiHtitutious." It professes to support the Southern Democracy, and still veil tures to believe, and what Is more lniporteut,lo say, that the Interests ot Texas would be great ly promoted by substituting free for slave labor. And to render the oaae si ill more alarm ing, the Aries says that tbe Democrats of Wood county have elected tbe editor ot this same an tl-Slavery paper to repreeeut them la State Oonveullon. The Araw Is oaudid euough to concede that "if the people of that section of the State, or auy large u umber of them, desire to rid tbemselvee of tbe Institution ot negro slavery, we suppose tbey have perleot right to do solo a Ifpltimate and constitutional manner." WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 39. "Hanirert Destiny." Geo. Gitfa used to be regarded as the Ulgb Priest ol tbe Manifest Destiny doctrine: but since bis appointment to the State Department, tbe late Attorney General, Caleb Cusbiug, has entered tbe lists as its deteuder, On the occa sion of hie recent public reoeptiou at bis old home, Mr. Gushing delivered a highly Duisbed aud eloquent oratiou upon tbe destiny of tbe United Slates, lu the whole of bis discourse there is not a word said about the canker at the root, the worm at the core of our Republican Institutions Slavery. Ueretofore our growth has been, iu spile of this local disease, but which recent events have made a national one. It Is now enthroned on the high seal of power. II controls the President aud bis Cabinet, the Senate aud the Supreme Court; It initiates all measures of public policy; Its creatures throng tbe avenues of our National Capital, and its interests govern our Governors. It pants for uui-versal domiuion. By diplomacy, by Intrigue, by tbe sword and tbe bayonet, It seeks to oruab out Freedom on this continent, and Instal tbe Class Interest of Slavery as the one domlnaut Interest, which must be fostered and maintain ed, aud whose interests must be protected, while street erect, witb tbe air of a man, who, by im itation the "Moor of Venice" lo "runninir away with an old mau'a daughter," had done a good thing, aud wasn't ashamed ot It The excitement concerning this matter in hardly less than that produced by the Dean auu Boxer anair at new lorit uity. Tub Mormon Priesthood. A coirespondent of the National lntellienctr, who resided for a year iu tbe Sail Lake Valley, in the capacity of mail ageut, thus describes the Mormonhierarchy: Tbe Mormon priesthood Is a consolidated sys tem of police, compounded from tbe old Aaron-Ic, Levitioal, Uelcbesideck priesthoods, and Is knowu by tbe name of "Tbe Church of tbe Latter Day Saints of Jesus Cbriel." Brigbam Young ia tbe Prophet, Priest, and Klnir of tbe Saints. Ilia will is law; he Jb tbe vicegeieut of God, deriving authority directly from Him, wnioo is aotuiuie wneuever ne says, "inu$satti tbe Lord." Brigbam stands upon the shoulders his two councilors; tbey stand upou tbe Mr. Cuablug talks glibly and grandly of America, "wherein God wills that we should work out bis eternal plans," as tbaugh be, like a second Joseph Smith, had a special revela tion from the Almighty. We do uol claim to have aoy suob revelation. It iB enough for us to kuow tbe revelation wbicb He has made lo HI Word, and to know that His promisee are always coupled with a commaud. Man, In one sense, makes bis own destiny. Character Is deBliny, and as a man forma bis character, so be forms bia destiny. If we form our Individual or national character after that of the Mas ter, and deal juatly, love mercy and walk humbly before God, there it) nodeotiny too high tor us to anpire to; but if, on the other band , we form our Individual or national character after that of the brigand, and disregard the rights and teellugs ol the weak and def enseless, It we steal our neighbor's luud and go ou Qllibusler-lug tours to dispossess them, we have no right of boulders of the other ten apostles: thev stand upon tbe shoulders ol the biuh priests: thev to expect auv other tbau tbe brigand's fate. staud upon tbe shoulders of tbe bishops; they joj aQ( men alike will approve the jusllce of aland upon tbe aboulders of tbe captains of fit-ties aud seventies; they stand upon the aboulders ot tbe elders; they stand upon the shoul ders of tbe lay members of the church ; tbey oinuu upou me uuuuiuer oi me lauorinu mass-1 es who till tbe soil which supports the pile. From his towering height, Brigbam Issues forth bis edicts to the people, aud with the scorpion iasn or ms serpent tongue ne lasbee every one beneath bim into silence. "Ao one wai ever known lo dimni from hi$ will." The entire fraternity Is bound toirether by oaths the most solemn, to support the church and nothing but tbe church, and every man, woman and obild, 1 is constituted a police officer, always on duty, and required to report to tbe htud whenevei anything of sufficient interest occurs to justify it. Tub Washington Monument. An artist connected witb Leslie1 1 ltluitrated JSttonpaptr re cently visited tbe Washington Monument, being tbe only persou who has Investigated those parts for some months. He reports: Thanks to gravitation, this monument of bad taste is not lorever to remain an eyesore to the people of Washington City, and an offense lo me citizens oi an tne world, lor tbe oortbwest corner of tbe shapeless pile is already burying itself la the muddy bank of the Potomao. and before maoy yera we will have a leaning totcer, or an unmeaning mass oi tailing stones and mortar. To complete it Is impossible without takina- down wnat Is alreadv erected, and by pile driviug and tbe outlay ot bait a million, secure a proper foundation on wbicb to have It rest. tbe seuteoce, Tbe New York Times has some remarks up on this subject, which we commend to the at tention of our readers: "Mr. Gushing was a prominent member of ao Administration which did nothing to foster the freedom or to fortify the Institutions of tbe United States. He was, ou the contrary, ao active Instrument In the moat audacious attacks upon tbe Constitution of tbe country, aud upon tbe rights ol Araerl- citizens. Instead of civilizing tbe Indian tribes out of Spanish America, or emancipating Cuba Into Republican greatness, he contributed the utmost of bis ability to ft scheme for barba rizing tbe borderers of our Wet tern States, aud tor degrading a free American Territory into an imbecile and spiritless Provinoe. Tbe Gov ernment with which he worked added not one loch of Territory to our dominion, nor one ray of glory to tbe confederate stars ol our nation al banner. Were we, therefore, to judge Mr. Cuahing by bia deccb, we should pronounce him a mortal enemy ot American progress a man either incompetent to conceive or incapable ot executing any statesman-like project of nation al aggrandizement, " But Mr. Cusbiug Is eminently an unpractl csl person. He is a man of words unequal to fulfill himself iu deeds: and accepting bim, therefore in bis proper tuncliou, we commend mm Inr nittLintr inLri m vnrff Inrmiilft ami imores- The Mohmonh. A letter in the A'utionitl In-1 sive shape certain ideas more true than new. teltigenrrr piesents some very startling views! which must lie at tbe bottom ot all our future or the power and designs of the Mormons. It is written by a gentleman who is said to have lately spent twelve months ia tbe Salt Lake Valley, eugagtd In business connected with tbe transit of tbe mails through (be Territory to and from the Pacific. Ue confirms fully tbe statements and apprehensions of Judge Drummond, and insists upon tbe necessity of taking some very prompt and decisive measures to protect the country from tbe dangers which threaten it naliooal policy.

They were under the dlreotlua of their President, James P. Park, a Scotchman, aud who has been a resident of Utah. Elder Charles R. Dana, lor nineteen years a Saint, aud formerly lrom St. Lawreuce county, N. Y., and Klder David B. Dille, for fllteen years a Saint, and formerly from Enolld, Cuyahoga county, were of the party. There were about 3'0 persons of too party, of all ages, a slight excess of females. Tbey were chieUy Welsh, and lorty-ntne were Swiss, from the cantons of Berne and Zurich. The Herald says some of tha children were peculiarly bright aud pretty. Una man lost bis wife aboard ship, and was left with three children, the oldest but five years of age.

Outol Mr.Cusbing's owu mouth comes their terrible rebuke. Dis patched by tbe Government upon a commercial mission to China, Mr. Cusbiug sailed across the North Paoitlo before ihe thousand aaila ot Ualllornian enterprise bad whitened tbe placid waters.

" The fathers of the Bepubllo never designed the principles here announced, the laud was prosperous and happy; peace prevailed in all our borders, and the nation was Teppected abroad. How le it now T Tbe recent acts ol our government In Kansas shows that tbe spiriL which animated the lulhera, no longer governs our rulers. Tbe lust of domiuion has usurped the seata of power, and Right, Justice aud Humanity are scorned aa obsolete Ideas. If the nation indorses the policy of those who sit in her high places, it needs no prophet's vision or ghost come from the grave to tell that our manifest destiny" is one of shame aud reproach oot one of glory and honor. No true patriot would wish lor our laud the reputation that we are a nation of Border Ruffians; bill we fear we are rapidly acquiring it. Unless we return to tbe teachiugs of the fathers, tbia destiny awalla us. It Is as true of a nation ae of a man, that "aa a man soweth, bo also shall be reap." KflrThe Stattiman ol yesterday, makes tbe following charge agaiunl Senator Hamilton : Now we dlstlu lly aud advisedly assert that Mr. Hamilton, who we understand has au itch iug (or the position of a place in the Board of Publio Works, drew from tfto i rtasuru money chat tied in hit account uo having betn paid jut Mr. Wreiner, and that tht tame cfiarnai wrrr separately made in Mr, Ureiner t aeeumd and altumd. We challenge a denial If the facta are aa stated, the overdraft niunt have been a mistake in making out Ihe accounts. We have no just reason to delend Mr. Hamilton, but we do not believe bim dishouest, aud we have no doubt that be will refund the money to the State, when be understands tbe facts, if tbe lact are ob staled Imvp. . The Xeula Elopcnieul Case The Springfield Nonpareil of Monday gives tue particulars of the trial of tbia case before the Probate Judge of Clark county, Hnu. J. L. Torbert, on a writ of habeas corpus, procured by the guardian ot Miss Martlu. It is said that Mr. Boyd and Miss Martiu were married at North Lewfobiirg, Champaign county, on Thurs day evening. Next morning tbey were dis turned by tbe officers ot Junlice, among whom was tbe lively "Sberin'of Logan county," with a warrant for the yuait husband, on a charge of false Bweartng In attempting to procure a 11 ceo Be in. Bellefontaine, to which place Mr. Bcyd was taken and detained. Boyd waB sub sequently released from custody, on giving bail for bia appearance. The lawyers for ihe lady's guardian were Hon. Sacipson Mason, Rodney Mnaon aud J nines S. Goode, Epqs., of Springfield, and Wi- nans, Eeq., of Xeoia. The lawyers for the lady were Hon. Samuel Shellabarger, of Springfield, and Ichabod Cor- win, Erq., of Urban a. Mr. Mason quoted from statutes to sustain the writ of habeas corpus. The pretended mar rlftge was without tbe conseut of either parents or guardians, and by parties on both aides who are minora, aud, according to the laws of Ohio, was no marriage at all. By Ohio laws, the Court were obliged to bear pnof of the mar riage of the parlief. Judge Torbert coolesstd a good deal of em barrawmeut in deciding the question with re gard to our State luws. The writ of habeas corpus is for the purpose of Belting a party free from illegal restraint. There are two clofaes of cases be I ore Courts, one In wbicb tbo child hap not arrived at years of discretion, and the otb er where it has tbe qualifications to choose lor Itself. Tbe Court d( cidvd that where the party bad arrived at au age of choice, there was oo restraint, and decided that tbe parly ehonld be examined iu order to aecertain whether fiieb was tbe case in this instance, The Court decided that the examination with regard to the restraint should be held on Satur day evening, but was subsequently puatpoued till Monday mornin i. Mr. Corwin submitted a motion lor dibebarge, and alter some contention among tbe lawyer? Judge Torbeit remarked that the course pursued on both sides, had tended to mislead tb Court, and then proceeded to reconsider tbe conduct of the proceeding, aud to give bit opinion concerning the dlH.hargf-. Tbe Judgi acknowledged to have bad oo experience In mailers of luls kind, bul supposed that it would accord with gooll older, if tbe proofs on both sides should be introduced; that tbe plaintil) should prove himself guardian, and ihe delend ant, that he Is the husband of tbe lady. The Court would prefer to hear the teaflmouy. The testimony was proceeded with. The will of the late Dr. Martin, wilbuut the journal entry, waa introduced, Tbe will stated that Robert D. Pogue was appointed guardian, and Robert D. Pugue aud Win. Mills, executors and trustees of tbe estate. Mr. Harper, Probate Judge ol Greeue county, swoin. Was acquiuled with the parlies. Hud uot issued a Hceuse ol marriuge lo tb m. They are both citizens ot Greene county, Mian Martin waa a native.

A copy paper of tbe reuiguatiou ot Aaron Winder us justice ol the Peace in March, lt&7, as certified to by the clerk of Cbuiupalgu couu ly, was preaenltd, but waa objected to on the pari ol tba defence, Mr. Corwin claimed that It waa no evidence whatever, as the reiunatlou was a private pa per, and could have no force. The marriage was legal beoamw Justice did act. From ibe certificate It Is presumed that be was a justice de facto. (Mr. Corwlu quoted 2d and 6th Obiu rleports aud other sources to austaiu uis po sitiuu.) Mr. Mason quoted the statistics to show that It was necessary for a Justice lo give uotloe of his resignation lo the Clerk of Court, and tbe certificate waa oll'ered to show that Wiuder did resign; also Ibat bis successor, Joseph Blank, was elected, and nau men ms otuiu April inn.

The Legislature has siilnuitU-il to Ihe people, as an amend men I lo the State Constitution, a propositi ou (hat hereafter con u tie tdiull be divided into single representative dinlriclH, where their population entitles them to more limn ime member of the Legislature. This is an unwise recommendation, made solely to suit ptirtiwau eiids, and ought to be voted down. Belter members will be elected by Ibe people, where they have tbe whole county to chooae from, tbuu If they are rewiiieted to tbe limits ol several towns or warde to find their candidates, which greatly narrow the field of their election. Men would succu ed, iu certain districts, ol a calibre so inferior that tbey Wuiild run tbe gauntlet of a whole county siiceeKsfolly agithmt aHpirautsot a higher grade ot character. There Is uo reoeoo why couu ties should be divided and cut up lulu siugle districts. Their interests are identical, and tbey ou&hl lohuve au entirety of rep resell tat ion. Besides, under such a system, the couuty com mfosionerfl have the power to make tbe districts, which would attord a field lor Uih operation ol the "gerrymunditr plan" of stilling constituencies to luiiher iolUicui objects. Dintricfn would le lornied with especial reference to their political character, and by m careful study ol the election statistics, it would be easy to give Ibe minority of tbe people in the couuly tbe greuier number of legislulive dimriclB, Tbe pluu is a bad one lu every point ot view, and we bud better by fur adhere to tbe undivided couuly representation, as et-tablished in the present Constitution, Tbe above appeared inyesteid&y V Slalrtmnn, having appeared originally iu the Uhiciuuali Enquiior, We may prenime, iln relore, that It speaks the sentiments of b.dh ihe Meliopul-Lno ad iiitt centiul oruii of the ptrty, and II is to lw tii ken by the rank und liie as Ihe pure milk ol tbo word. It is certainly singular that puperri which are continually speaking about political right, democracy, aud Ihe t quality of men, HlmuUI at the same lime oppose au amendment to tbe Constitution ao purely jusl aud democratic as the one which is reluired to above by the Kinnit r and Stair man. The arguments whi'h these papers use to defeat the amt'ii dine nt are hardly worthy of con-Bidern'.loti. Tbey are in In tel these: Int. Better men will be selected by the present syhtem than by tbe ono proposed. Common sense, practice and login disprove such an assertion, for uo fuel Is belter eslab liahed in representative government, than this, that the nigher you bring the representative to the constituency, tliu better be will understand tbvlr interests, and the more carefully will bis course In both publio and private life heregarded. As to ibe remaining objections, they are mere pbaiiloma conjured up lo fill a vacuum which reawu and logic cannot bo made to occupy. We do not wonder that aa a mere party move ment tbe Democrats of Hamiltou county oppose the single district system, although by so doing they run counter to the fundamental principles of Democracy. We should like to kuow why aiuu living iu Uumllton couuty, rhould have the right lo vote lor eight Representatives aod three Senators, while a man living In the ad joining county of Warren can only vote for one Representative and one Senator. Why should such an incongruity exist? Why not lop it off'.' Again, we ask, why tdiould Hamilton county always appear in the Legislature aa a political unit, with as much power in the House as eight counties, which send but one raeuilier each We are for Ibe single district iyttem, in order to break oil' this political drill which tbe Hamil ton county delegation, in consequence of Its members and ih unity, has always imposed up on the Legislature. We are in favor ol the eiugle district system, hectiure it is more just to the minority, et-peuially in Hamilton county. Under that system there will always be a pur tn.n of Republicans and a portion ol Democrats elected. As it is now, tbe great, overgrown power falls into the Legislature like a i avalanche, to make and unmiike luws, and to coerce the conutry interests, und members from the rural districts, to the detuandB ot the city. We have no opposition to tnnke to Hamilton county having iu lull quota ot memheia in the Leg and not in a lump. They should lw elected ae ineniberH lire elected in the olher cotiutlee.

If we hud had the siugle district system in opera-tlou two years ago, there would have been In tbia city a city representative, aud iu tbe couutry a country representative, As it la now, we have bolti representatives from the city.

He walks tbe loUmv with tbe name of Democracy. COLUMBUS: TUESDAY EVENING, APRIL 28. Freedom or Slavery Which! The Democratic prty at tbe North once professed to be the friend, yea, tbe champion of Universal Freedom ; It was their mission to up bold the Rights of Man, and put dowo all Aristocracy. They passed resolutions looking forward to the time when Freedom should trl uraph over aud eradicate the evils of Slavery ; but sioce the reign of Franklin Pierce, lbs pas SHgnof the Nebraska bill, and the Dred Scott decision, they deny tbe old principles to which they professed allegiance, aud repudiate without scruple the prinolples of Democracy as taught by Jell'ertnu. These modern apologists tor Slavery are admirably hit off by the Provi dence Journal, which says : "We have yet to see tbe first Northern Democratic paper which cordially supports the emancipation movement In St. Louis. These papeis do oot confess that they are in favor of Bluvery In tbe abstraot. Tbey even Indulge in some vague generalities about freedom and tbe millenium, and the lion aud the lamb lying down together. Some thing of this kind has been predioted, but to attempt to hasleo any such state ot things, however desirable It may teem to our abort sighted visiou, would be aa Impious interfer ence with tbe plaus of Diviue Providence. Be sides, tbey never like the exaot way to which it Is proposed to accomplish tbe result, li any thing is said In tavor of It In tbe North, (t Is ao iuiperliuent Interference; if It Is tiled In tbe South, It may be well enough intended, but In some way or other, It Is oot la the right direc tion or onder the right Influences. It never comes exactly at tbe proper time, nor Is It ever In tbe haods of exactly tbe proper people. Tbe Democratic papers, too, are always afraid of a reaction, always apprehending that the feeling of the extreme South, of the men who hold that "free society la a lailure," will be wounded ; for these people are moat delicately sensitive, and start at the first whisper ol the word "free," to whatever It may be prefixed. "All tbe movements toward tbe amelioration of the colored race come, in the eyes of tbe Democrats, under two clwses, the philanthropic and the scltlsb. If tbey are undertaken by anybody but the slaveholders, If they are even directed towards preventing the extension of slavery, and witb uo relereuce to Its perpetuation where it exists, the men eog-iged in it are "mock philanthropists," "Digger worshippers," Ac , and all of them as clearly shown in the reoeut case of a Doatoo Blaok Kapa oilcan minister, go about the couutry with uncertain women, stopplug at doubttul taverns aud calling tor strong wbiBky toddy. If such movements are undertaken by the people of the slavehold-iug States, by Urn slaveholders themselves under aconvlctioo that, upon tbe whole, free labor Is the beet for them, then it becomes, In tbe opto Ion of these same critics, ao act ot outrageous ael-fiabuesa: they are actuated by the narrow view ol improving tbe general condition of tbe people by the selfish consideration of the public good, aud would sacrifice the lostllutlou of slavery, divine iu its origin and beneficent In lis operation, for the sake ot building up cities, briuglog lands into cultivation, aud iucreaslng tbe products and tbe Influence of the arts. At the same time, It ia not to be uuderatood that these men are In favor ol slavery. We know that tbey are not, because tbey say they are oot; and whenever tbey vote or act la euy way for slavery, they always, in the handsomest maa ner, balance It by the most beautiful sentiments in favor of freedom. Id fact, wo do uot know tbitt we have ever beard fiuer disquisitions up on freedom In the abstract than have fallen from i be peus wbicb are constautly employed In furthering the party of slavery," A Frki Soil Papkk in Tuia-Tbt Galves ton AYioi is very savsre In Its denunciations of the Quitman Free Prrm, a newspaper published la Wood county, fur Its "open and bitter hostility to Southern IiiHtitutious." It professes to support the Southern Democracy, and still veil tures to believe, and what Is more lniporteut,lo say, that the Interests ot Texas would be great ly promoted by substituting free for slave labor. And to render the oaae si ill more alarm ing, the Aries says that tbe Democrats of Wood county have elected tbe editor ot this same an tl-Slavery paper to repreeeut them la State Oonveullon. The Araw Is oaudid euough to concede that "if the people of that section of the State, or auy large u umber of them, desire to rid tbemselvee of tbe Institution ot negro slavery, we suppose tbey have perleot right to do solo a Ifpltimate and constitutional manner." WEDNESDAY EVENING, APRIL 39. "Hanirert Destiny." Geo. Gitfa used to be regarded as the Ulgb Priest ol tbe Manifest Destiny doctrine: but since bis appointment to the State Department, tbe late Attorney General, Caleb Cusbiug, has entered tbe lists as its deteuder, On the occa sion of hie recent public reoeptiou at bis old home, Mr. Gushing delivered a highly Duisbed aud eloquent oratiou upon tbe destiny of tbe United Slates, lu the whole of bis discourse there is not a word said about the canker at the root, the worm at the core of our Republican Institutions Slavery. Ueretofore our growth has been, iu spile of this local disease, but which recent events have made a national one. It Is now enthroned on the high seal of power. II controls the President aud bis Cabinet, the Senate aud the Supreme Court; It initiates all measures of public policy; Its creatures throng tbe avenues of our National Capital, and its interests govern our Governors. It pants for uui-versal domiuion. By diplomacy, by Intrigue, by tbe sword and tbe bayonet, It seeks to oruab out Freedom on this continent, and Instal tbe Class Interest of Slavery as the one domlnaut Interest, which must be fostered and maintain ed, aud whose interests must be protected, while street erect, witb tbe air of a man, who, by im itation the "Moor of Venice" lo "runninir away with an old mau'a daughter," had done a good thing, aud wasn't ashamed ot It The excitement concerning this matter in hardly less than that produced by the Dean auu Boxer anair at new lorit uity. Tub Mormon Priesthood. A coirespondent of the National lntellienctr, who resided for a year iu tbe Sail Lake Valley, in the capacity of mail ageut, thus describes the Mormonhierarchy: Tbe Mormon priesthood Is a consolidated sys tem of police, compounded from tbe old Aaron-Ic, Levitioal, Uelcbesideck priesthoods, and Is knowu by tbe name of "Tbe Church of tbe Latter Day Saints of Jesus Cbriel." Brigbam Young ia tbe Prophet, Priest, and Klnir of tbe Saints. Ilia will is law; he Jb tbe vicegeieut of God, deriving authority directly from Him, wnioo is aotuiuie wneuever ne says, "inu$satti tbe Lord." Brigbam stands upon the shoulders his two councilors; tbey stand upou tbe Mr. Cuablug talks glibly and grandly of America, "wherein God wills that we should work out bis eternal plans," as tbaugh be, like a second Joseph Smith, had a special revela tion from the Almighty. We do uol claim to have aoy suob revelation. It iB enough for us to kuow tbe revelation wbicb He has made lo HI Word, and to know that His promisee are always coupled with a commaud. Man, In one sense, makes bis own destiny. Character Is deBliny, and as a man forma bis character, so be forms bia destiny. If we form our Individual or national character after that of the Mas ter, and deal juatly, love mercy and walk humbly before God, there it) nodeotiny too high tor us to anpire to; but if, on the other band , we form our Individual or national character after that of the brigand, and disregard the rights and teellugs ol the weak and def enseless, It we steal our neighbor's luud and go ou Qllibusler-lug tours to dispossess them, we have no right of boulders of the other ten apostles: thev stand upon tbe shoulders ol the biuh priests: thev to expect auv other tbau tbe brigand's fate. staud upon tbe shoulders of tbe bishops; they joj aQ( men alike will approve the jusllce of aland upon tbe aboulders of tbe captains of fit-ties aud seventies; they stand upon the aboulders ot tbe elders; they stand upon the shoul ders of tbe lay members of the church ; tbey oinuu upou me uuuuiuer oi me lauorinu mass-1 es who till tbe soil which supports the pile. From his towering height, Brigbam Issues forth bis edicts to the people, aud with the scorpion iasn or ms serpent tongue ne lasbee every one beneath bim into silence. "Ao one wai ever known lo dimni from hi$ will." The entire fraternity Is bound toirether by oaths the most solemn, to support the church and nothing but tbe church, and every man, woman and obild, 1 is constituted a police officer, always on duty, and required to report to tbe htud whenevei anything of sufficient interest occurs to justify it. Tub Washington Monument. An artist connected witb Leslie1 1 ltluitrated JSttonpaptr re cently visited tbe Washington Monument, being tbe only persou who has Investigated those parts for some months. He reports: Thanks to gravitation, this monument of bad taste is not lorever to remain an eyesore to the people of Washington City, and an offense lo me citizens oi an tne world, lor tbe oortbwest corner of tbe shapeless pile is already burying itself la the muddy bank of the Potomao. and before maoy yera we will have a leaning totcer, or an unmeaning mass oi tailing stones and mortar. To complete it Is impossible without takina- down wnat Is alreadv erected, and by pile driviug and tbe outlay ot bait a million, secure a proper foundation on wbicb to have It rest. tbe seuteoce, Tbe New York Times has some remarks up on this subject, which we commend to the at tention of our readers: "Mr. Gushing was a prominent member of ao Administration which did nothing to foster the freedom or to fortify the Institutions of tbe United States. He was, ou the contrary, ao active Instrument In the moat audacious attacks upon tbe Constitution of tbe country, aud upon tbe rights ol Araerl- citizens. Instead of civilizing tbe Indian tribes out of Spanish America, or emancipating Cuba Into Republican greatness, he contributed the utmost of bis ability to ft scheme for barba rizing tbe borderers of our Wet tern States, aud tor degrading a free American Territory into an imbecile and spiritless Provinoe. Tbe Gov ernment with which he worked added not one loch of Territory to our dominion, nor one ray of glory to tbe confederate stars ol our nation al banner. Were we, therefore, to judge Mr. Cuahing by bia deccb, we should pronounce him a mortal enemy ot American progress a man either incompetent to conceive or incapable ot executing any statesman-like project of nation al aggrandizement, " But Mr. Cusbiug Is eminently an unpractl csl person. He is a man of words unequal to fulfill himself iu deeds: and accepting bim, therefore in bis proper tuncliou, we commend mm Inr nittLintr inLri m vnrff Inrmiilft ami imores- The Mohmonh.

How le it now T Tbe recent acts ol our government In Kansas shows that tbe spiriL which animated the lulhera, no longer governs our rulers. Tbe lust of domiuion has usurped the seata of power, and Right, Justice aud Humanity are scorned aa obsolete Ideas. If the nation indorses the policy of those who sit in her high places, it needs no prophet's vision or ghost come from the grave to tell that our manifest destiny" is one of shame aud reproach oot one of glory and honor. No true patriot would wish lor our laud the reputation that we are a nation of Border Ruffians; bill we fear we are rapidly acquiring it. Unless we return to tbe teachiugs of the fathers, tbia destiny awalla us. It Is as true of a nation ae of a man, that "aa a man soweth, bo also shall be reap."

Next morning tbey were dis turned by tbe officers ot Junlice, among whom was tbe lively "Sberin'of Logan county," with a warrant for the yuait husband, on a charge of false Bweartng In attempting to procure a 11 ceo Be in. Bellefontaine, to which place Mr. Bcyd was taken and detained. Boyd waB sub sequently released from custody, on giving bail for bia appearance. The lawyers for ihe lady's guardian were Hon. Sacipson Mason, Rodney Mnaon aud J nines S. Goode, Epqs., of Springfield, and Wi- nans, Eeq., of Xeoia. The lawyers for the lady were Hon. Samuel Shellabarger, of Springfield, and Ichabod Cor- win, Erq., of Urban a. Mr. Mason quoted from statutes to sustain the writ of habeas corpus. The pretended mar rlftge was without tbe conseut of either parents or guardians, and by parties on both aides who are minora, aud, according to the laws of Ohio, was no marriage at all. By Ohio laws, the Court were obliged to bear pnof of the mar riage of the parlief. Judge Torbert coolesstd a good deal of em barrawmeut in deciding the question with re gard to our State luws. The writ of habeas corpus is for the purpose of Belting a party free from illegal restraint. There are two clofaes of cases be I ore Courts, one In wbicb tbo child hap not arrived at years of discretion, and the otb er where it has tbe qualifications to choose lor Itself. Tbe Court d( cidvd that where the party bad arrived at au age of choice, there was oo restraint, and decided that tbe parly ehonld be examined iu order to aecertain whether fiieb was tbe case in this instance, The Court decided that the examination with regard to the restraint should be held on Satur day evening, but was subsequently puatpoued till Monday mornin i. Mr. Corwin submitted a motion lor dibebarge, and alter some contention among tbe lawyer? Judge Torbeit remarked that the course pursued on both sides, had tended to mislead tb Court, and then proceeded to reconsider tbe conduct of the proceeding, aud to give bit opinion concerning the dlH.hargf-. Tbe Judgi acknowledged to have bad oo experience In mailers of luls kind, bul supposed that it would accord with gooll older, if tbe proofs on both sides should be introduced; that tbe plaintil) should prove himself guardian, and ihe delend ant, that he Is the husband of tbe lady. The Court would prefer to hear the teaflmouy. The testimony was proceeded with. The will of the late Dr. Martin, wilbuut the journal entry, waa introduced, Tbe will stated that Robert D. Pogue was appointed guardian, and Robert D. Pugue aud Win. Mills, executors and trustees of tbe estate. Mr. Harper, Probate Judge ol Greeue county, swoin. Was acquiuled with the parlies. Hud uot issued a Hceuse ol marriuge lo tb m. They are both citizens ot Greene county, Mian Martin waa a native. Mr. Boyd hud said he was uu-nertaiu aa to bis age, Ibat he waa either "twenty panl" or "twenty oue past." Mr. Wbltemau sworn. Had heard Mr. Uoyd say be was oot of uge but would be hi Augunt Miss Martin bad said thai she would be seven teen In October, Tbe counsel on the part ot the defense, offer ed as evideuce tbe certificate of inurriage, sign ed by Aaron Winder, ol Norlb Lewisburgb, O., und a copy ol ibe marriage license liotu Ibe Probate Judge of Champaign couuly. A copy paper of tbe reuiguatiou ot Aaron Winder us justice ol the Peace in March, lt&7, as certified to by the clerk of Cbuiupalgu couu ly, was preaenltd, but waa objected to on the pari ol tba defence, Mr. Corwin claimed that It waa no evidence whatever, as the reiunatlou was a private pa per, and could have no force. The marriage was legal beoamw Justice did act. From ibe certificate It Is presumed that be was a justice de facto. (Mr. Corwlu quoted 2d and 6th Obiu rleports aud other sources to austaiu uis po sitiuu.) Mr. Mason quoted the statistics to show that It was necessary for a Justice lo give uotloe of his resignation lo the Clerk of Court, and tbe certificate waa oll'ered to show that Wiuder did resign; also Ibat bis successor, Joseph Blank, was elected, and nau men ms otuiu April inn. He conceded thai Ibe legal effect ol the test! mony was to opeu cummeut and argument, und proceeded to argue Its couietemiy. The testimony on tbe part ol tbe deiemlauts oousisled of a oertincate oi marriage sigueu uy nr. niuuer, who, Mr. Masou claimed, was uot legally au tborized Lo admiuisler marriages. Mr. Mason held that the marriage was uot a legal marriage according to the laws ol Ohio; Ibat It was Irauduleutaud void. The Court theuadjourutd until half past one jrITSkk TklkuraiH Stale Institution THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 30. The Single District Syatera. The Legislature has siilnuitU-il to Ihe people, as an amend men I lo the State Constitution, a propositi ou (hat hereafter con u tie tdiull be divided into single representative dinlriclH, where their population entitles them to more limn ime member of the Legislature. This is an unwise recommendation, made solely to suit ptirtiwau eiids, and ought to be voted down. Belter members will be elected by Ibe people, where they have tbe whole county to chooae from, tbuu If they are rewiiieted to tbe limits ol several towns or warde to find their candidates, which greatly narrow the field of their election. Men would succu ed, iu certain districts, ol a calibre so inferior that tbey Wuiild run tbe gauntlet of a whole county siiceeKsfolly agithmt aHpirautsot a higher grade ot character. There Is uo reoeoo why couu ties should be divided and cut up lulu siugle districts. Their interests are identical, and tbey ou&hl lohuve au entirety of rep resell tat ion. Besides, under such a system, the couuty com mfosionerfl have the power to make tbe districts, which would attord a field lor Uih operation ol the "gerrymunditr plan" of stilling constituencies to luiiher iolUicui objects. Dintricfn would le lornied with especial reference to their political character, and by m careful study ol the election statistics, it would be easy to give Ibe minority of tbe people in the couuly tbe greuier number of legislulive dimriclB, Tbe pluu is a bad one lu every point ot view, and we bud better by fur adhere to tbe undivided couuly representation, as et-tablished in the present Constitution, Tbe above appeared inyesteid&y V Slalrtmnn, having appeared originally iu the Uhiciuuali Enquiior, We may prenime, iln relore, that It speaks the sentiments of b.dh ihe Meliopul-Lno ad iiitt centiul oruii of the ptrty, and II is to lw tii ken by the rank und liie as Ihe pure milk ol tbo word. It is certainly singular that puperri which are continually speaking about political right, democracy, aud Ihe t quality of men, HlmuUI at the same lime oppose au amendment to tbe Constitution ao purely jusl aud democratic as the one which is reluired to above by the Kinnit r and Stair man. The arguments whi'h these papers use to defeat the amt'ii dine nt are hardly worthy of con-Bidern'.loti. Tbey are in In tel these: Int. Better men will be selected by the present syhtem than by tbe ono proposed. Common sense, practice and login disprove such an assertion, for uo fuel Is belter eslab liahed in representative government, than this, that the nigher you bring the representative to the constituency, tliu better be will understand tbvlr interests, and the more carefully will bis course In both publio and private life heregarded. As to ibe remaining objections, they are mere pbaiiloma conjured up lo fill a vacuum which reawu and logic cannot bo made to occupy. We do not wonder that aa a mere party move ment tbe Democrats of Hamiltou county oppose the single district system, although by so doing they run counter to the fundamental principles of Democracy. We should like to kuow why aiuu living iu Uumllton couuty, rhould have the right lo vote lor eight Representatives aod three Senators, while a man living In the ad joining county of Warren can only vote for one Representative and one Senator. Why should such an incongruity exist? Why not lop it off'.' Again, we ask, why tdiould Hamilton county always appear in the Legislature aa a political unit, with as much power in the House as eight counties, which send but one raeuilier each We are for Ibe single district iyttem, in order to break oil' this political drill which tbe Hamil ton county delegation, in consequence of Its members and ih unity, has always imposed up on the Legislature. We are in favor ol the eiugle district system, hectiure it is more just to the minority, et-peuially in Hamilton county. Under that system there will always be a pur tn.n of Republicans and a portion ol Democrats elected. As it is now, tbe great, overgrown power falls into the Legislature like a i avalanche, to make and unmiike luws, and to coerce the conutry interests, und members from the rural districts, to the detuandB ot the city. We have no opposition to tnnke to Hamilton county having iu lull quota ot memheia in the Leg and not in a lump. They should lw elected ae ineniberH lire elected in the olher cotiutlee. We at-k the people ot Obiu of ail shades of politics, to vote Tor Ihe proposed amendment. It is ol the very first importance, especially to those v, bo live in theagiiculliiril dilrirK The tendency ol tliini? Um I teen und in, to oncen-trate the pmiticul und money power in big ill tea, and utiles the Single Disfiiet System Is adopted, we imy expect in tUe coiimo uf a tew years thai the cities ol CinciumiU, Cleveland, Toledo, and others my elect a mnjonty o tbe Senate aud a very lar(;o (plurality lu the House, and thus effectually govern the Stale. By ma king the single districts, you break the unity of their system of tactics, and yon produce antagonisms in the very cenlro of their power the cities. The tendency of citiea is to alnorb power. If we hud had the siugle district system in opera-tlou two years ago, there would have been In tbia city a city representative, aud iu tbe couutry a country representative, As it la now, we have bolti representatives from the city. True, each parly unminaled oue of ite candidates from the count! y, but tbe city centralization succeeded in defeating both ot tho country candidates, and to elect both ol the city candidates. Under Ihe siugle district system that kind ol deal cannot he played. lu conclusion, we bopo lb til the people will, without parly distinction, vote in October nexl for tin most valuable uuicudment.
